Abstract

Within last decade there has been a push for use of ICT based education tools across all levels. However, there has been a lack of research on how ICT interventions affect students’ ability to learn. For young children the focus need to be on improving experience of learning and boosting their learning skills. This paper looks at how ICT intervention affect Saudi preschool school children’s experience of learning English as Foreign Language (EFL). Data was collected using English test scores and student observation. Findings of this paper indicate that ICT can be useful in teaching EFL but it need to be used keeping in mind the abilities of the students.
